Julia Grüter, soprano
Joshua Hopkins, Baritone
Anja Bihlmaier, conductor
Lili Boulanger: Psalm 24 "La terre appartient à l'Éternel" for tenor, mixed choir, organ, harp, timpani and brass
Johannes Brahms: Ein deutsches Requiem nach Worten der heiligen Schrift for soprano, baritone, mixed choir and orchestra
Conductor Anja Bihlmaier returns to the Beethovenfest for the third year in a row to perform Brahms' German Requiem on the Day of German Unity - with the BBC orchestra in a phenomenal line-up. Brahms chose texts from the Luther Bible to tell of man's reconciliation with death with poignant depth. Lili Boulanger's short psalm setting with pomp and timpani forms a charming contrast to this.
